Planesrunner (Everness Book One) - Plot & Excerpts
The window on Lambic Lane was a false front, made up to look grander and less seedy than it was. Nevin Financial Services' main office was down a greasy alley, lit only by three neon circles—green, blue, and red—that crackled and dripped fat blue sparks to the cobblestone. The symbol of the pawnbroker was the same in any universe. The window here was filmed with years of grime. Rows and racks and shelves holding hundreds of pledged articles made cleaning the inside of the glass impossible. Everett had heard of pawnbrokers—there was even one in Stokie, off Stamford Hill, but neither he nor anyone he knew had ever seen it. He had to go to a parallel universe to visit one. He knew how they worked—you put up an item of value as security, and if you didn't pay back the loan and a small fee, the pawnbroker kept the item to sell. Here were the items no one had ever redeemed. Devices that looked like radios, or those really old Sonys that played cassette tapes, with their earphones wrapped around them.
